Countries are learning how to make use of that panopticon’s power in a pell-mell, piecemeal way. The systems that they lash together may last a long time.

It would be best to keep an eye on them.

Great to see @NHSX be open about plans to work with tech companies in the #COVID19 response.

Ongoing public scrutiny as plans for using data develop will be critical to getting this right. @matthewsgould @IndraJoshi10 https://t.co/A8B22MHVPy

*sigh*

This tool is entirely necessary at this time of crisis. So why bullshit the public about the data being "#anonymous" when, by @NHSEngland/@NHSX's own admission, the data will in fact be #pseudonymised, thus #identifiable #PersonalData under #GDPR!https://t.co/FipMkqC8sB pic.twitter.com/7BDkCQeten

Big tech is now a huge part of coronavirus politics, doing data dashboards for health decision-making and also education without schools. Public services may never be the same again, with Google, Microsoft & Palantir expanding their activity. https://t.co/WZivo8g3b6

It's also given an update on timelines: apparently a beta of the first dashboard "will be ready to share with key government decision-makers this week"https://t.co/jqsb7OqQq9
